program both diverts waste from landfill and helps to reduce waste of valuable resources.
Why e-CYCLE?
Fact: Incinerating 10,000 tons of waste creates one job. Land filling it creates 6 jobs. Recycling it
creates 36 jobs.
At Toshiba we are constantly looking for new ways to improve the design and manufacturing
of our products. Innovations that use less energy, have fewer parts and components that
can be used in other forms after the original products have reached the end of its economic
life (EOL). Identifying and adopting sustainable environmental strategies has been a long
term, ongoing commitment of Toshiba Corporation.

Millions on inkjet and laser printer cartridges are used in the US each year, with
approximately 95% of used cartridges going to landfill. This convenient solution is not
sustainable and we must all acknowledge the importance of the problem if we are to find a
positive alternative strategy. Many accept that sending waste to landfill is not a long-term
solution as it just leaves the problem for the future generation to deal with.
Highly resistant to degradation, the plastic and metal components of cartridges in a landfill
site can last for as long as 1000 years. Toshiba’s toner cartridges recycling partner is Close
the Loop Inc (CtL), a company that is leading the world in this specialized field of resource
recovery and reuse. They have developed a process that takes cartridges, breaks them up,
separates and recovers the metallic component materials and then blends and reprocesses
the various mixed plastics remaining on site.
Their highly skilled team of research chemists is a leader in this field and continues to
evaluate new ways of streaming and enhancing their processes. Their ‘Zero Waste to
Landfill’ process is independently audited and while their operation has achieved ISO 9001
certification, they are working towards ISO 14001 accreditation.

| eLumber Weatherproof, tough, and environmentally favorable |
eLumber™ is a brilliant new patent-
pending product that is
manufactured and marketed by
Close the Loop®. Made from 100%
Recycled polystyrene and related
styrenic plastics, eLumber™ is jet
black, weatherproof, tough, and
environmentally favorable.
eLumber™ can be used as fences,
garden edging, outdoor furniture,
sound barriers, and many other
applications.
It has almost the same
characteristics as natural hardwood
in terms of look and feel, as well as
density and structure and can be
worked, shaped, and handcrafted
like timber using woodworking tools.
In comparison to commercial
hardwoods and other plastic
alternatives to timer, eLumber™ has
unique advantages in terms of
durability and versatility. It is UV
retardant, non-porous and resistant
to bacteria growth and insect attack.
eLumber™ is currently be made in a
wide array of sizes/profiles and it is:
•Water Resistant
•Rot Resistant
•UV Resistant
•Insect and bacteria resistant
•Reduces demand for wood
Other types of plastic lumber are
made from mixed polyolefins which
do not allow for use with glue, paint
or varnish due to poor interfacial
adhesion. In contrast, the recycled
styrenic plastics of eLumber™ allow it
to be painted, glued, or varnished.
